- 16' A goal from the New Zealand international Bill Tuiloma! He fires home on 16 to make it 0-1!
- 21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ethan Finlay made 282 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 26' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 30' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Maximiliano Urruti.
